The Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials (RCPTM) is a scientific and research centre associated with the Faculty of Science, Palacký University, Olomouc. Its mission is to carry out advanced research and to transfer high-tech products and technologies to medical, industrial and environmental practice. We emphasize on connecting the Centre to international networks and collaborations and on involvement of early carrier stage researchers in our projects.

The structure of the eight research divisions is in accordance with the eight research programmes of the Centre. Every research division is headed by the Head of the Group who is appointed by the General Director of the Centre and is responsible to him/her. When dealing with issues of planning the research activities, he/she closely cooperates with the Scientific Director of the Centre.
